Market abuse prevention refers to the regulatory and operational measures implemented to deter and detect illicit activities that distort market integrity. This includes practices such as insider trading, market manipulation, and unlawful disclosure of information. Its purpose is to ensure fair and transparent trading conditions for all participants. Financial regulators enforce these rules to maintain investor confidence and market efficiency.
Context
Market abuse prevention is a growing concern in the relatively nascent and often less regulated digital asset markets. Regulators are actively developing frameworks to extend traditional market integrity rules to crypto exchanges and trading platforms.

Future regulations will likely impose stricter requirements on crypto-asset service providers to identify and report suspicious trading behaviors.
